Message	If you are losing pressure in the cooling system it allows the boiling point of the antifreeze to increase and diminishes system efficiency. Check cap release pressure as well. You can rent a tester at Advance Auto. Pretty straightforward to use. When you pressurize the system it will usually show any leaks you may not otherwise see (except the cap, which you remove to pressurize the rest of the system).
